At Asante Canada, we understand the critical need for safe and stable housing, especially during times of crisis or transition. Our Temporary Shelter and Access to Permanent Housing Support program is designed to provide immediate assistance and long-term solutions for individuals and families experiencing housing insecurity.
Temporary Shelter: In collaboration with local shelters and community partners, we offer temporary accommodation for those in urgent need of shelter. Our temporary shelters provide a safe and supportive environment, equipped with essential amenities and staffed by trained professionals who are dedicated to ensuring the well-being of our clients.
Access to Permanent Housing: Beyond temporary shelter, we are committed to helping individuals and families secure permanent housing options that meet their needs and preferences. Our team works closely with clients to assess their housing requirements, navigate housing applications and eligibility criteria, and connect them with affordable and sustainable housing solutions in the community.
Support Services: Throughout the housing journey, our dedicated staff provides personalized support and guidance to clients, offering assistance with housing searches, rental applications, landlord negotiations, and financial planning. We also offer resources and referrals to additional support services, such as legal assistance, financial counseling, and mental health support, to address any barriers to housing stability.
